| + | Throughout the summer, we have imagined a disruptive product that we believe will be a step forward for solving malnutrition. | ||
| + | |||
| + | <h2>We repurposed fermentation for creating nutrionally enhanced food</h2> | ||
| + | <ul> | ||
| + | <li>We created an modified strain of <em>E. coli</em> that produces vitamin B2 to high levels, and built a vector for allowing <em>Lactococcus</em>, an endogenous micro-organism of idli, to produce the vitamin as well. <br/><a href="https://2015.igem.org/Team:Paris_Bettencourt/Project/VitaminB2">Read more...</a></li> | ||
| + | <li>We measured the overproduction of vitamin A by an engineered strain of <em>S. cerevisiae</em>, and showed that this does not significantly impair its growth. We demonstrated that backslopping of engineered strains is possible. <br/><a href="https://2015.igem.org/Team:Paris_Bettencourt/Project/VitaminA">Read more...</a></li> | ||
| + | <li>We re-engineered the microbiome of traditional Indian dishes, and proved that an exogenous organism with high vitamin production can be introduced in idli. <br/><a href="https://2015.igem.org/Team:Paris_Bettencourt/Project/VitaminB12">Read more...</a></li> | ||
| + | <li>We modified the genetic regulation circuits of <i>S. cerevisiae</i> so it improves the rice's iron bioavailability by degrading phytic acid, a chelator of iron. <br/><a href="https://2015.igem.org/Team:Paris_Bettencourt/Project/Phytase">Read more...</a></li> | ||
| + | <li>We proved the safety of our product by proving that no micro-organism survives cooking, bringing new opportunities to the GMO debate. <br/><a href="https://2015.igem.org/Team:Paris_Bettencourt/Design#safety">Read more...</a></li> | ||
| + | </ul> | ||
| + | |||
| + | <h2>We designed a truly sustainable solution</h2> | ||
| + | <ul> | ||
| + | <li>We found effective, easily acceptable solutions for manufacturing, distribution and conservation of microbial products. <br/><a href="https://2015.igem.org/Team:Paris_Bettencourt/Project/Manufacturing">Read more...</a></li> | ||
| + | <li>We designed and constructed a new synthetic biology framework for microbes producing nutrients. <br/><a href="https://2015.igem.org/Team:Paris_Bettencourt/Project/Continuity">Read more...</a></li> | ||
| + | <li>We designed a device to detect vitamin B12 in food that is way cheaper than its analytical chemistry counterparts. <br/><a href="https://2015.igem.org/Team:Paris_Bettencourt/Project/VitaminB12#biosensor">Read more...</a></li> | ||
| + | </ul> | ||
| + | |||
| + | <h2>We identified the needs of the target population and provided feasible solutions</h2> | ||
| + | <ul> | ||
| + | <li>We got promising feedback from Indian people, researchers and officials, including the former Director of the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research and founder of IGIB. <br/><a href="https://2015.igem.org/Team:Paris_Bettencourt/Acceptance">Read more...</a></li> | ||
| + | <li>We successfully defended our project in front of a citizen review commitee. <br/><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ADVU-03q2r4">Read more...</a></li> | ||
| + | <li>We shown that rice is often the only resource people have, so our design will be an effective solution for them, as it can be manufactured with only rice water. <br/><a href="https://2015.igem.org/Team:Paris_Bettencourt/Acceptance">Read more...</a></li> | ||
| + | <li>We got a lot of citizen involvement and gathered more than fifty sale promises proving the high acceptance of our product by the community. <br/><a href="https://2015.igem.org/Team:Paris_Bettencourt/Practices/Events">Read more...</a></li> | ||
